Discover French music by listening to the orchestra and to the conductor’s explanations for an hour, during the school day. As well as being a virtuoso harpsichord player and composer of operas, Rameau also possessed the expertise of a fully-fledged symphonic composer. This is clear in his use of woodwind and wind instruments, which is so brilliant and innovative that some see it as a forerunner of the symphonic poems of the Romantic era.
